The middle of July and my schedule returns. My son started band today. Not a big deal except it means I have to build my schedule around his drop off and pickup times. It's just like school has started but with one big exception - no bus.
School dictates when I wake up and when I must be home to welcome him back each day. This doesn't take me out of the house since the bus picks him up and drops him off at the end of our driveway. The band on the other hand, requires me to drive him. This takes about ten minutes. The bad part it also requires me to pick him up. This also takes ten minutes. The bad part is; Mr. Bonds, the Glasgow High School band director, doesn't ever finish on time. He has an odd idea about his band getting it right before they leave. This is one reason they are state champs but it does take a big bite out of my evening.
This is something I really hate during band camp but really love when they are kicking butt in Cardinal Stadium during state competitions.
I guess I can live with two weeks of inconvenience if it means Bonds, and his defending AA state champions, are ready for the season.
Although I am expecting, with almost his whole championship band returning, for Mr. Bonds to inconvenience me again when I have to schedule a trip to Louisville to watch them challenge for another title.
I think I can find the time!
